Course Description The purpose of this module is to provide competency based training in aerospace engineering structural analysis concepts and computation for para-professional technicians. The delivering mode consists of lectures, classroom based exercises and tutorials.This module facilitates articulation into Aerospace and Engineering degree courses.

Teaching Schedule

Course Schedule This course involves the delivery over 4 weeks using the following tentative format:

The student will be assessed in various methods to ensure that the requirements of the course are met. Successful graduation from the course is achieved when the candidate attains at least 50% of the tital mark AND his/her accumulation of the marks is NOT less than 50% of all the assessments.
